Hogmanay Safari Dinner and New Years Day Walk

After the success of our VE Day Safari dinner in the summer we decided to do the same for Hogmanay. First port of call was Tom's house for drinks where he was ably assisted by Elizabeth an expert cocktail maker. 
After beautiful starters at Birkwood it was on to Ardlui for the main course and Gaye had excelled herself with a superb meal. 
The sweet course was at Peter and Elizabeth's and this was the excellent sweets on offer. They were quite magnificent and everybody had a bit of everything as they were so good.  
We made it into the Market Place for midnight to discover we were the oldest there by about 40 years. The last time I was in the market place for New Year was in 2000 and there were hundreds more there than this year.  We headed back to Rosevale for a final drink and then agreed to meet at 8.45am for the Whisky Run and our annual walk round Potholm timed to arrive in the Market Place by 11.00am
The gang gathered together at Potholm Bridge with Bowman as usual the star of the show.
